By enrolling in our auto-pay program you give NBDC permission to charge your credit card on file for any and all charges that are due. In order to do so you must leave a valid credit card on file. Your credit card will be charged on the 1st of every month for any and all payments that are due at that time.

You will be notified if your card is declined or has expired via email notification. NBDC accepts Visa, MasterCard and Discover. Should your card be declined, you will be subject to late fees in the event that we do not receive another form of payment by the 15th of each month. It is your responsibility to ensure that your automatic payment is being debited from your account monthly. Our tuition is based on a 10 month year. Tuition is a yearly tuition equally divided by those 10 months. Tuition does not vary regardless of the amount of weeks or classes per month. No monthly tuition will be prorated, discounted or credited for any reason. This includes, but is not limited to, late registration, inclement weather, absences, vacations, holidays, and injuries.
